What about the 3rd gen unibody awd Durango's? Anything worth looking at ?

So I was planning to make the trip up tomorrow to look at the truck and the guy texted me today that it was just sold. Oh well, the hunt continues. This thread has made me aware of a few things though, so thank you to everyone for their input. More research to do now!

Thanks, Rayra. Curious though as to why you would say that at 9 yrs and 111k it is most likely not a problem? Isn't the issue more likely to develop the higher the miles add up?

Thanks for the heads up. I should have mentioned that it is a 1500 with the 5.3. So I'm sure it has the AFM. I read the thread you recommended, now I'm thinking I should be looking at at an 05 or 06. I had an 03 GMT800 Tahoe a few years ago. It had 150k trouble free miles when I traded it.

I'm looking to purchase a 4X4 Suburban to start my first build and wanted a few expert opinions. The primary purpose of this rig will be to tour the country after retirement in a couple of years. I want to finish up my state highpoints and hit some of the big national parks out west. I want to...

Thanks. Planning a November trip!

One drawback I see to the 470 is the V8 and reduced mpg.

I could see some shorter trips with the wife, but not a lot of sleeping 2 in the vehicle. This vehicle will be mainly for solo trips once i retire in a few years. Thanks for the tip on the 4th gens. And yes, the Lexus looks good too. I first noticed the lexus while watching a 4xoverland video...

My Odyssey is a 2010. I love the Honda and its not going anywhere. The Honda will remain the DD.

Thanks Zen! I am learning a ton as I search. I really like the 3rd gens too. My wife had a 99 SR5 2WD back in the day as her DD and we really liked it, though it never saw anything but pavement. I'll keep looking...

So I didn't get a chance to look at the truck after all. I think he sold it out from under me. It happens. The good news is I'm learning a lot in this process and I still have my cash in my pocket. The search goes on...

Thanks. Hopefully I will get a chance to see this truck tonight and I will look for those issues. I'll keep everyone updated.

Right, I hear ya. The thinking is I'd rather have the off road capability and not need it, then not have it and run into a situation where i wished i did. I plan on doing a lot of traveling in the west, and that is unfamiliar ground for me, so it is a bit of an unknown. I know I won't try...

Thanks for the info. Now that I have a few minutes, I can expand on what I have in mind for this truck, or whatever i end up with. I need something with basic off road capability and I know the 4R has that covered. The truck will mostly be used for long road trips but will need to be able to...

One more thing to add, and yes I know this is the toyotoa sub-forum so i can predict the answer, but would you take this 4R over an 2005 Trailblazer with the same miles and same price?

New here and thought i would ask for quick opinions from the Toytota guys. Ran across a 2000 Limited 4X4 with 156k miles. They are asking $3900. Seems like an excellent deal to me if the truck is in good working order. What do you think and anything to look out for in that year model? Would you...

Looks fantastic. Giving me lots of great ideas! What did you replace the headlights with?
